Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) halibut fillets
• 0.5 cup orange juice
• 1 tablespoon orange zest
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves (minced) garlic
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon (dried) or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 slices (for garnish) orange slices
• 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the orange juice, orange zest, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, honey, thyme, and paprika until well combined.

Step 4

Place the halibut fillets in a baking dish in a single layer. Pour the orange marinade evenly over the fillets, ensuring they are adequately coated.

Step 5

Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.

Step 6

Remove the foil and spoon some of the marinade from the dish over the fillets. Continue baking uncovered for an additional 5 minutes or until the halibut is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the dish from the oven and let the fillets rest for 2 minutes.

Step 8

Transfer the halibut fillets to serving plates and drizzle a bit of the cooked marinade over them.

Step 9

Garnish each fillet with a slice of orange and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.

Step 10

Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as steamed vegetables or rice.
